Hi, darlings, we have officially been in Boston for a week and I just sent off Joe to his very first day of research at Harvard. I am so proud of him!
We are having such a blast. We are experiencing a lot of new things. For example, we’re not used to having to walk everywhere (Joe and I averaged ten mile days last week, isn’t that insane?!) We also are not used to being able to walk to the grocery store and having to carefully plan out our meals so that we are buying just what we need. It’s an amazing experience and Joe loves that we don’t have to drive anywhere. (I, on the other hand, do miss my car quite a bit haha).
Boston Week 1 Recap – feel free to use this post to inspire any of your itineraries if you have an upcoming trip to Boston!
Fairmont Copley Plaza // The Salty Pig // Giacomo’s
We kicked off our trip to Boston with an anniversary celebration at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, read more about our weekend here. We ate at The Salty Pig and then on our anniversary night at our favorite Italian restaurant Giacomo’s. The food at Giacomo’s is very reasonably priced and just the most amazing Italian food we have ever had. We’ve waited over an hour each time that we’ve come here and it is ALWAYS worth it!
During the day, we checked out Copley Plaza which has amazing shops and EATALY!! For a great budget-friendly breakfast, we went to Au Bon Pain
Charles River Esplanade
Boston Common // Boston Public Garden // Chinatown
I absolutely love this dress that I got from Thredup, it was new with tags from Ann Taylor Loft! The scalloped details were what made me fall in love with this dress. |
Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University
The final dress that I got from Thred Up. I have gotten so many compliments on this dress and the scalloped details are just amazing! |
Boston Public Library // Eataly
Finally, I wanted to so badly to show Joe the grandeur of the Boston Public Library so we made the trek to downtown Boston to explore the library. And of course, we had to get some gelato from Eataly. I had the almond and caramel tiramisu and it was probably the best gelato I have had in my life. IT WAS SO GOOD!
- Check off as many things as I can on my Summer Bucket list
- Make our way to Nantucket, MA
- Lose five pounds (easy if we walk all the time, hard because of all the good food here)
- Really amp up my blog this summer (while I have the time!)
- Read five books
- Educate myself on all web-related items (SEO, Javascript, HTML/CSS)

Aw so glad to hear it's going well in Boston! I grew up in Maine so my family and I would make trips to Boston, and once I got into high school / college my friends and I would take the train down and do day trips of our own. Such a great city and summer is DEF the time to be there weather wise!!
